Max Gawn Ruled Out vs Pies

Ā 

Interesting that Egan mentioned Brown as a defensive option inĀ Talking Points.

I wonder if he could play back and shift Tomlinson into the ruck?

He also mentioned that Jordon and Sparrow were training 1v1 with the midfield group over the pre season and I forget sometimes,Ā given howĀ strong our first group is, that must be really good the development of these guys. Particularly, if they can get a look in early, like Sparrow has. Jordon is a great kid by all reports, so looking forward to seeing him play. Sounds like he's going to play inside mid too, which surprises me as one of his former coaches told me they used him as a half back.

I should say also that I didn't realise Egan had been "Head of Development" since 2016. I thought that was McCartney's role, at least for a time.

Anyway, Egan is super impressive. He has a certain aura aboutĀ him. I'd play for him, so seems like we're lucky to have him.

    Yep, nowhere near 100% though. They're pulling a Gawn with him.

    Could be a good time to play them

    The Melbourne Storm were an inspiration last night, missing key players

    We have to play a classic ā€œTeamā€ game tomorrowĀ

    Jack will carry usĀ 

    Been loving watching him play this year which isn't something I usually say because he can be a frustrating player with his kicking at times. Seems to be more composed now

    Watch him go sicko modeĀ

    Preuss will be a difficult assignment for Grundy to match his strength and height. Hope Preuss has the tank to follow.Ā

    Release the beast. Itā€™s time for Preuss imo. I think Gawn will miss and needs a 2Ā week break. Perhaps back for the Dogs challenge. Ā 

    'Release the beast...' is just so inspiring with Max unavailable. Release the Beast, release the Beast, release the Beast. I can imagine the potential scars on the Collingwood psyche, right now. No food for Preuss for 36 hours, he's got to be hungry at the first bounce. At 'em, Killer!

    It's OK that Pendles is playing ... first target for AVB, and then Preuss. Second target for Viney. Balanced attack.Ā

    shouldn't need too much tank to keep up with grundy. grundy has already showed signs of tiring and is coming off a 4 day break

    preuss needs to hit him hard at ball ups and not give him any repite. i suspect grundy will limit his range, probably to mainly between the arcs

    having saidĀ that, grundy will probably play a blinder just because it's us

    I hope Preuss is ready to come off the chain. Ā He is a physical guy. Ā Iā€™m not after 20 possessions. Ā In his scope , I want Preuss to compete and be physical within the rules.Ā

    So are we to assume Gawn will be out for another month with this PCL now?Ā  which is the rest of the season really

    And the Adelaide game has shown us that whacking someone incessantly behind the play is ok!

    No. 50/50 for next week, so you'd think he'd miss the next 2 games at most.

    So closely umpired, too ... absolutely acceptable, absolutely too difficult to adjudicate for umpires despite its frequency; we are left with absolute clarity on its approval, its relevance to the game and legitimacy in assisting the umpires to 'even up' a game.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaideā€™s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksyā€™s mighty Demons. Ā Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground ā€” letā€™s hope that trend holds. Ā But donā€™t expect charity ā€” Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
